10 Best Mexican Restaurants in Oakland Park

“We live really close to this little gem, always wanted to try it and FINALLY made it there for lunch today. What a huge loss that we waited so long! Their food is so good. I ordered the 2 carna asada taco lunch special which came with beans and rice. My husband ordered the carnita taco lunch special. The meat was so flavorful and juicy. The rice was fluffy, the beans were topped with melted cheese. We ordered a side of chips and salsa. The chips were warm, crunchy and seemed freshly made. Absolutely amazing lunch.... We will not wait too long to return here to eat.“

“I just had the most amazing shrimp Quesadilla!!! The food is always fresh and cooked to perfection 👍“

“The food at El Guanaco is the best hands down. I refer people all the time for food . We have been going a few years but not much the last few months due to the service. Sometimes you can put up with mediocre service because the food is so good . But today was the second time service was subpar… Today we waited 20 minutes and still no order taken ….There was another table with no beverages that was sat before us . We decided to leave and offered to pay for the beverages and chips but they would not let us pay . The cashier said she could take our order but we already had waited and decided it was best to just go ahead and leave …On the way out there were 3 vacant tables inside ….If we eat El Guanico in the future we will order to go because the service is just not there anymore. The food is the best but not going back anytime soon to dine in …Food 5 ⭐️ service 3⭐️…..“

“One of the best family restaurants that I've been too quality food.Excellent service and the nicest nicest people.“

“Wow!!! We just finished family Sunday enjoying our lunch at tacos el papi. The birria tacos were delish!!! My son had the el pastor, his favorite and my husband had the cheek and stomach tacos which he thoroughly enjoyed!!! The restaurant is super clean!!! Looking forward to coming back!!!“

“Great amazing place to eat, drink, watch something etc. Went around two weeks ago randomly looking for a place to eat with my girlfriend and I asked them if they would put UFC 311 and they said yes. We called two days before to reserve two tables in front of the tv, they did it and we went with 5 more friends, we all had a great freaking night! We got drunk af🤣 ate half the menu and enjoyed the fight! At the end of the night we ordered a round of shots and the manager was kind enough to send another round on the house. Great place overall and it’s new so I recommend y’all go before it starts getting really packed every weekend!“

“The food here is by far some of the best I’ve had. There is NOTHING on the menu that isn’t absolutely delicious. We’ve never actually been in the restaurant (just Door Dash) but I’m sure the staff are just as awesome (I’m a server…of course I’m gonna say that 🤣). Seriously though, we’ve had the tacos, burritos, enchiladas, chimichangas, skirt steak, stir fry, fajitas, spinach dip, rice and beans, and guacamole. Everything is DELICIOUS!!!! If you think otherwise, you should have your head examined. 🤣. Now I know what I want for dinner tonight!!!!!“

“love this place, the staff are all wonderful. food is to die for, ofcourse the margaritas 🍹 😋 are the best. highly recommend this place.“

“very clean and the staff is amazing. the food is delicious.“

“Open EARLY!! I really don't care for non authentic Mexican food. Not only is this authentic, I think the prices are very reasonable. The waitresses are incredibly nice. At least one of them will be fluent in English.
I always get crispy corn tortilla tacos and beef enchiladas with red sauce.
I take home a healthy quantity of leftovers for another snack later on.
FIVE STARS out of five.“
